Abstract excerpt
The synthetic gene coding for the precursor of the cysteine protease papain (EC 3.4.22.2) has been expressed using the baculovirus/insect cell system. The prepropapain gene was cloned into the transfer vector IpDC125 behind the polyhedrin promoter. The recombinant construct was then incorporated by homologous recombination into the Autographa californiaca nuclear polyhedrosis virus genome. The host Spodoptera...
